New Delhi: After President Pranab Mukherjee addressed today's joint session of Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted Rahul Gandhi warmly.
The Congress Vice-President was seated in the eighth row of the Central Hall of Parliament along with senior Congress leaders Motilal Vora and Jairam Ramesh.

Mr Gandhi and the PM traded professional-grade insults during a bitter campaign for the national election, which resulted in a spectacular win for Mr Modi and his party.

A number of MPs, including Chandan Mitra, Babul Supriyo, Rajyavarhan Rathore and Manoj Tewari, who could not find a seat, kept standing during the President's 55-minute address.
